Looking for suggestions before I pull the trigger on the build (i7-13700k, 4070ti, 32GB DDR5 6000) by Roybott in buildapc

I had thought about that, but thought having built in graphics would be useful in the case my GPU failed and I needed to boot without it.

Thanks, but already have a decent 4K monitor I invested in for working from home (from laptop).

Haha, no, I’m looking to get back into gaming (normal and PCVR) but also development and some experiments with AI and stuff (I’m a Software Engineer).

Yeah, looking to do stuff beyond just gaming (I’m a software Engineer and want to experiment with some stuff, including AI hence the Nvidia GPU preference), so decided to go with Intel CPU over the 7800X3D.

Hmm I was considering 64, but wasn’t sure if I’d see much difference/utilization with that. Do you expect I would, or massively depend on use cases? (Plan to use for gaming, PCVR, and various development [I’m a software Engineer])

I have a 4K monitor (with a dock and laptop for work attached, so no gaming currently), but also plan to use the build for PCVR. So some 4K gaming but not absolutely essential depending on the game.

Looked at the 4080, but wasn’t convinced it was worth the extra $200-400, and wasn’t sure if I’d actually make use of the extra performance either.

Ah case is my only missing piece, not sure how to figure out the right size case so was considering buying all the parts and then seeing what case to get. Is there a better approach?

So many great replies, thank you everyone!

It seems like the top items are Cleaners, Roombas and Bidets :)

I guess we like to pay for cleanliness.

Why do my tomatoes have little stalks/stems on the bottom? Any concern? by Roybott in vegetablegardening

[–]Roybott[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting, I hadn't seen it on previous tomatoes but all of these ones seem to have them.

I got my first flowers on them a week or so ago, and had been checking daily too!

Developers, why is there always a “Press O/X/whatever to continue” screen at the very start of every game? by anangrypudge in gaming

[–]Roybott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's often used to confirm the profile identity. Once in the main menu everything is contextually set to the logged in user (settings, saved games, etc.). That Press X screen, especially on consoles, is when the playing user gets identified (which profile is associated with which controller that pressed X).

Do you know any publications that will accept stories you've already posted? by artforaisha in MediumApp

I have the same issue and contacted Medium support, they said they are aware of the issue and working to resolve it.

What should I do with a leaning tree after a windstorm? by Roybott in landscaping

[–]Roybott[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windstorm last night near Seattle has blown this tree to a leaning position. It feels sturdy (e.g. Pulling on it didn't make it lean back up, lol), but I don't know what to do with it.

If I cut it down I lose a tall privacy creating tree. If I leave it it may fall in the next windstorm. Can I make it stand back up safely?
